Bill: The Impartiality Bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Pnték Znkak Prta 'Bastardry'
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: July 2200
Description[?]:
| If the Government supplies contraceptives in toilets, won't they favour a certain brand due to the economies of scale and stifle the market? If the Government sets up gated communities, won't they only be for those who can afford them or to protect certain groups? If the Government issues permits to certain groups for space, why should they favouritise certain groups? Why should the Government be allowed to favour certain groups over others? It's time to butt out. Besides, it's costly. Think of the budget. |
